"A Better Way to Learn and Apply the Rules of Baseball"!

Why “A Better Way to Learn and Apply the Rules of Baseball” for Baseball Rules in Black and White’s official tag line? Because, our book’s unique content and sequenced format allows the reader to easily learn the entirety of a ruling, which makes applying a ruling correctly when needed more likely.

When you only have seconds to make a correct ruling, your recall must be clear and accurate. Rule books that provide complicated, arbitrary, partial or scattered information, will quickly turn seconds into a very long day.

Nothing complicated, nothing fancy, just a simple statement, regarding an educational resource endorsed by umpires from all across the country. These are the reasons why Baseball Rules in Black and White truly is “A Better Way to Learn and Apply the Rules of Baseball”!

As the Executive Instructional Chairman, California Baseball Umpires I am well aware of the challenges umpires face every season simply interpreting the rules of baseball. These challenges of the baseball rule book can reduce an umpire’s ability to clearly retain and correctly call a ruling during a game. This is especially true for newer umpires, but also impacts veteran umpires.

I have waited years for an enhanced version of the high school rule book to become available to address these challenges and now, Baseball Rules in Black and White is here! Gone are the days of randomly searching for a rule, just to find arbitrary rule language.  Or have the rule book direct me to three additional rules that are possibly related, or not in two other sections of the rule book.
